A LIFE LONG LEARNING PROCES
We all STRUGGLE
With the need for APPROVAL
And the impulse to avoid conflict
AT ALL COSTS
It is hard to KNOW
When to speak up
And when to REMAIN SILENT=
It is a LIFE LONG
LEARNING PROCESS
“If I were still
Trying to please people=
I would not be
A slave of Christ” Galatians 1:10
The DIFFERENCE between
Self-righteous indignation=
And an AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
Of the Spirit
Is difficult to recognize
We need prayer=self-knowledge
And a healthy dose
OF HUMILITY=
To be authentic
In our WORSHIP OF GOD
To be AUTHENTIC
In our worship of
God the FATHER
Is a life long LEARNING PROCESS
And we must be humble-
We must live in HUMILITY
To be authentic-
In our WORSHIP of God
“He guides the HUMBLE
In what is right
And teaches them
His way” Psalm 25:9
“He mocks proud mockers
But shows favor to the HUMBLE
And oppressed” Proverbs 3:34
“These are the ones
I look on with favor
Those who are HUMBLE
And contrite in spirit
And who tremble=at my word” Isaiah 66:2
Praying and living IN HUMILITY
Are reliable guides
For me to FOLLOW
God and Jesus
But it takes AWHILE
To get there=to be
Truly humble-
It takes a long time=
To LEARN to live like Jesus
(and we may NEVER get there)
It is truly a LIFE LONG
LEARNING PROCESS
So pray to God to
LEARN HUMILITY=
Pray to God and Jesus
To learn to love=to forgive=
And to LIVE with true kindness
It takes a lifetime
TO LEARN=it takes
A lifetime=to be AUTHENTIC
And to learn to live
With HUMILITY
“Take my yoke upon you
And learn form me=
For I am gentle
And HUMBLE in heart
And you will find rest
For your souls=
For my yoke is easy
And my burden light” Matthew 11:29-30
Learning to LIVE HUMBLY
Like Jesus=is a life
LONG PROCESS
In Jesus' name
